-LRB- CNN -RRB- A Minneapolis police officer was shot Saturday morning , and Police Chief Janee Harteau said `` there is little doubt that an officer was the intended target . ''

The wounded officer was one of two who had just finished responding to a reported burglary when he was shot just before 5 a.m. -LRB- 6 a.m. ET -RRB- , Minneapolis police said in a statement . His partner promptly drove him to North Memorial Medical Center .

Assistant Police Chief Matt Clark told reporters Saturday afternoon that the officer , who was standing outside his car , was `` doing well and is in fair condition . ''

A man was arrested in connection with the burglary and a reported domestic assault , Clark said . Police took 43-year-old Andrew Neal , who is suspected of violating his probation , into custody .

Detectives are investigating whether there is a link between the domestic violence report , the burglary and the shooting , the assistant chief said .

A woman who reported the alleged assault was cooperating with authorities . `` She gave us a lot of information -LRB- about the incident and the burglary -RRB- , '' he said .

Police believe the wounded officer was n't targeted personally , but was shot simply because he is a police officer , police spokesman Scott Seroka added .

According to Harteau , he `` just happened to be the one who was there . ''

`` This is a reminder to all that every one of our officers face such danger simply because they choose to wear a uniform , '' Harteau said . `` They deserve our support and gratitude . ''

The officer who was shot is well-respected by co-workers and does an excellent job , Clark said .
